Strength Sports
Which sports are rated highest for strength - the ability to carry out work against a resistance? This list is based on the ratings of the factors of success considered most important, as voted by visitors to this website. Water polo the sport requiring the greatest strength? Maybe not. Weightlifting would be right up there too. I have no problem with boxing being rated so high though. The strength sports ranking list by the expert panel from ESPN may provide a more reliable list.
The ratings are still being recorded (this list from March 2011), so the list order may change over time. Although nearly 50 of the world's major sports have been analyzed, there may be others that were not included and could also be ranked highly too. You can add your own rating for sports.
